The choice of a used car is fraught with difficulties, because you can buy a “pig in a bag”, which will spoil after a year of use. Nevertheless, you can find a reliable one, and there is now plenty of choice. It is about such cars that the AvtoVzglyad portal will tell.
Let’s start with sedans, as they remain one of the most popular body styles among our customers. Here we highlight the representatives of the Japanese car industry, as they use proven technologies and do not pursue innovation.
Toyota Camry (XV50)
This generation of the model was produced from 2011 to 2018. As for engines, the sedan received proven 2.0 liter (150 hp), 2.5 liter (181 hp) and 3.5 liter (249 hp) engines. All of them are not concerned with problems and the “automatic” one does not provide any surprises. In terms of fuel consumption, the Camry with a junior engine consumes 8.4 liters per 100 km, which is quite good by today’s standards. Although there are of course much more economical cars with the same dynamic properties. But… they’re not Camry, and that says it all!
Mazda 6
The restyled “Japanese”, published in 2017, still attracts with its clear design and perky character. At the same time, petrol engines of the Skyactive family have no problems, which is confirmed in particular by a study by the authoritative Consumer Reports. But they have a high degree of compression! Recall: the line is represented by units with a volume of 2.0 (150 hp) and 2.5 liters (192 hp). Both work together with the “automatic”. As for fuel consumption, the average “appetite” of 7.8 liters per “hundred” can not be called excessive.
Toyota Land Cruiser 200
The legendary “Two Hundred” appeared at the end of 2007. In Russia, an SUV with two engines can be found: a 4.7-liter gasoline V8 with a capacity of 288 liters. Of. and the same V-shaped supercharged “diesel” with a return of 235 liters. Of. The first unit is mated to a 5-speed “automatic”, and the “diesel” – with a 6-speed manual transmission. The most reliable example is the one with a petrol engine. Therefore, we will not write about minor problems, although they certainly exist. Finally, judging by fuel consumption, the “Japanese” consumes 14.4 liters in a mixed chicle, which is not so much for such a huge car.
Lexus RX
This is one of the most popular premium crossovers in Russia and the most popular among the Lexus range. Several generations of this Japanese SUV are considered reliable, but we will pay attention to the fourth, since it is the most recent model.
We will not consider hybrid versions – they are rare. Let’s focus on trim levels with gasoline engines. And this is a 2-liter engine of 238 horsepower and a 3.5-liter version with a return of 300 forces. According to a foreign study by JD Power, the “Japanese” gives owners fewer problems than any other classmate. The degree of reliability of the model is reasonable – 95.35%. That is, less than 5% of these machines older than five years have malfunctions and breakdowns.
And according to British Driver Power, only 9.1% of owners gave a claim on the car. Probably for this reason, RX maintains a high residual value in the “secondary” in Russia. Finally, in terms of fuel consumption for the younger engine, it’s a modest 7.8 liters.
Toyota RAV4
“Ravik” was simply chosen not to look under the hood again. In addition, this applies to both new and used copies. Judging by western sources, the JD Power agency, the Consumer Report’s reliability rating and the specialists of the German ADAC club speak about the car’s amazing resistance to breakdowns.
We decided to choose a copy of the third generation, which was produced from 2005 to 2014, and from the whole engine range we chose a 2-liter version with 158 hp, combined with a CVT. For “hundred” he asks no more than 7.4 lira of fuel.
